South East Training - Enhancing Performance Through Employee Development

Management and Leadership Skills

South East Training designs, develops and delivers a wide range of Management and Leadership Training programmes that can make a real difference to the capability of employees to enhance business performance. Programmes can be developed or tailored to meet the needs of all levels of leadership from front line manager to senior executives.

Conscious of the need to minimise the time managers spend away from the workplace, many of our programmes include blended learning, consisting of a pre-workshop assignment focusing on knowledge, the face-to-face event helping to develop skills, and when required, follow-up coaching to assist with the application of the new knowledge and skills in the workplace.

This page lists just a sample of the different programmes developed to client specific briefs focused in four areas:

Project Management: available as an overview for those on the periphery of project activities or those simply wanting a refresher, or longer courses for those leading projects who need to have access to the various PM tools and techniques.

Strategic thinking is the ability to routinely take the longer-term view and see the bigger picture, leading to examination of options before deciding on action to be taken.
